Chapter 210: Wonderful Treasure ‘Tree Turns into Jade’
"That's it!"
With the idea in his mind fixed, Liu Dong walked straight over and took the wool he was interested in from the cart.
When I first saw this piece of material, I bought it out of curiosity because of the special appearance of the jade inside this piece of wool.
Now he just happened to untie it here so that others could taste it. He himself didn't know whether the weird jade inside was considered jade or whether it was valuable.
In addition, because the jade in this piece of wool has special properties, it cannot be cut directly with a stone cutter. Therefore, after Liu Dong moved it, he directly placed it on the floor tiles next to the stone cutter, and then picked up the angle grinder himself.
"Mr. Liu, should I take care of it?"
At this time, seeing Liu Dong planning to dismantle the stone himself, a middle-aged man wearing a gray vest, covered in sweat mixed with stone powder, and looking rather embarrassed, hurriedly came over.
"No need, you've all been exhausted after helping me solve the stones for more than two hours. I'll do this myself!"
Liu Dong declined the middle-aged man's kindness. Of course, he was also afraid that they would damage the jade inside. After all, unlike Liu Dong himself, they could directly 'see' the performance of the jade inside.
"Haha, Liu Dong, why don't you let me untie this piece of wool of yours!"
At this time, Mr. Wang came over. The people who had just interpreted the stone for Liu Dong were all his disciples and grandsons.
Watching them unwind one by one, Mr. Wang felt his hands itching. So he volunteered to stand up this time.
"No need, Mr. Wang. I can do this myself. When the gambling begins, I still want to rely on you, Mr. Wang!"
As for Wang Lao's stone-breaking technique, Liu Dong had seen it with his own eyes, and his strength was much stronger than his own, so it was just right for him to break down precious jadeite wool.
We must know that for top-quality jadeite such as glass-type imperial green, if the stone dissecting machine is not well controlled and a slight scratch occurs, it may be a loss of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. However, a master with good craftsmanship can try to avoid these unnecessary losses.
Loss.
Moreover, Mr. Wang is already in his sixties. Both his physical strength and energy are not as good as before. It is better to participate as little as possible in such tiring work as dissolving stones, which tests physical strength and eyesight.
Hearing what Liu Dong said, Mr. Wang, who knew his own family affairs, was no longer stubborn. Moreover, after dozens of previous increases, he was even more looking forward to Liu Dong's participation in this gambling game.
“Chichi…!”
Along with the harsh friction sound, the fallen stone chips were scattered in all directions.
Because Liu Dong could clearly see the location of the jade in the wool, he was very bold when he started. In just three or four minutes, the outer shell of the wool had been peeled off.
"Isn't this a cracked stone?" A stone-cutting master who stood next to Liu Dong and watched him cut the stone couldn't help but said doubtfully.
Looking at the palm-sized and bluish-white jade exposed on the surface of the wool, it turned out that it was not the emerald jade I imagined. Instead, it was five or six finger-sized holes. Although jade is better for water cultivation and looks very transparent, I didn’t hear it.
When the piece of jade was extracted, it had so many holes.
His voice was not quiet, so most of the people around him heard it clearly.
"What? It's wrong! It's impossible, isn't it?"
"Yes, just now we have forty-three times of continuous expansion, and we have never solved it once. Why did it break this time?"
…
After Liu Dong's almost exaggerated forty-three increases, people around him have become accustomed to his continuous increases. Now, an occasional increase causes a sensation no less than when Liu Dong first started to rise six times in a row.
the impact caused.
At this time, Sun Yujun and the others also gathered around. At this moment, they were also quite curious.
"Okay, don't disturb Liu Dong Jie Shi!"
After Mr. Wang finished instructing his disciples, he looked at the gambling stone that was being gradually unlocked by Liu Dong, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
…
"Hey! Liu Dong! Stop for a moment!"
After listening to Mr. Wang's words, Liu Dong turned off the angle grinder in his hand and stood up.
"What's wrong, old man?" Liu Dong asked in surprise.
"Haha, I saw something interesting!"
As he spoke, Mr. Wang bent down and wiped away the stone chips from where Liu Dong's woolen fabric had just been untied, and then a protrusion about the thickness of an adult's finger, completely white, with faint patterns on the surface, looked like a worm,
Clearly presented to everyone.
"Sure enough, it's true! This is a jade insect!"
Stroking the white bump, the expression on Mr. Wang's face became excited.
In fact, when he saw the holes on the surface of the jade just now, Mr. Wang had already made a guess in his mind. Now the appearance of this jade insect has undoubtedly confirmed his previous thoughts.
"Old man, why is this thing called 'jade insect'? Why is there this in jade?" Liu Dong asked with confusion on his face.
When he first saw this piece of wool, he bought it out of curiosity because there were a lot of white bugs in it, which behaved strangely. As for what these white protrusions are called,
, whether it has value or not, Liu Dong doesn’t know.
"Let me do the talking!" At this time, Wang Zhenfeng came over.
After first looking at the jade on the ground, Wang Zhenfeng looked at Liu Dong and said with a hint of emotion: "Actually, this jade is not jade, but petrified wood! It is also called tree jade!"
"Tree jade? Petrified wood? What is this?" At this time, people around started talking.
Although tree jade has long existed in the jade world, it was only in 2001 that people truly realized its value. Later, the world-famous hometown of tree jade, Mandalay Province, Shijie Province and Magwe Province in Myanmar
, is not well known now.
However, there are now many collectors of tree-turned jade in the jade industry, but compared to jadeite, the trading and collection of tree-turned-jade is still a niche.
After thinking for a moment and organizing his words, Wang Zhenfeng continued: "Shu turned into jade 65 million years ago. Large areas of virgin forest were buried underground by natural forces such as volcanoes, earthquakes, and mudslides. In a high-pressure, low-temperature, and oxygen-free environment
After being immersed in a silica environment, after tens of millions of years of evolution, the carbon elements in the trees were gradually replaced by silica, and some of the original characteristics of the trees were partially retained, incorporating certain minerals from the surrounding rock formations.
Elements form colorful substances, which are petrified wood, also called petrified wood."
"Then during the long geological period, in the continuous changes of temperature and pressure, the petrified wood underwent different metamorphisms, recrystallized, and the main component was converted into opal chalcedony. This is tree jade, also called wood jade."
"Shu Jade has a strong magnetic field and is very beneficial to the human body. And because of its age and bright and changeable colors, Jade has high economic value, as well as extremely rare ornamental value and scientific research value. It belongs to jade,
The perfect fusion of the three identities of strange rocks and fossils.”
"As for the 'jade bugs', tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years ago, they were once living bugs on trees. It was just a natural disaster that instantly buried them underground. After a long period of evolution, they became just like trees.
, forming jade insects, figuratively speaking they are also fossils in nature, but they are just more special!"
After listening to Wang Zhenfeng's explanation, everyone around him nodded in surprise.
"Mr. Wang, what is the value of this jade tree?" Liu Dong asked quickly.
Although most collectors who are obsessed with collecting art do not care about the value of the collection, sometimes the value of the art often represents how precious they are.
"Haha, tree jade is naturally occurring and is extremely rare. Naturally, it has a very high value. Like jade, the texture is more transparent, greener, and the brighter color is the most valuable. But your piece should be better.
!”
After Wang Zhenfeng finished speaking, Mr. Wang also stood up.
"In the field of Shuhua jade collection, there is a saying called 'one insect is worth one hundred thousand yuan', which means that one jade insect is worth one hundred thousand yuan. Judging from the surface of the jade you just solved, there should be more than one jade insect. So, if you want
Knowing the value of this tree jade, you'd better untie it as soon as possible!"
After listening to Mr. Wang's words, Liu Dong nodded happily. There were many jade bugs in this tree-turned-jade.
As Liu Dong started the angle grinder again and started to remove the stone, everyone was not talking, but looked at Shuhua Jade. As for Korean jewelry, basically no one paid attention to it at this time, and people were more looking forward to this.
The performance of the previously unheard-of tree-turned-jade after being unlocked.
Because the skin of the tree jade itself is not thick, and Liu Dong knows the situation inside very well, he can deconstruct the stone very quickly! After more than half an hour, all the stone skin on the surface of the tree jade has been completely
Was rubbed away by Liu Dong.
"What a beautiful jade?"
"Wow, so many 'jade bugs'!"
…
When Liu Dong put the extracted tree jade on the table where the jadeite had been placed, everyone couldn't help but marvel.
I saw that 60% of the tree-turned jade, which was about fifty centimeters high and more than twenty centimeters in diameter at its thickest point, shone with a crystal green color. If it were replaced by jadeite, it would be rated as bright green.
In addition to the rich and uniform green, there are three colors of red, yellow and white distributed on the surface of the tree jade, and they are equally bright. Under the dazzling equal light, the whole tree jade appears colorful, crystal clear and charming.
of brilliance.
Moreover, there are white jade insects of different lengths, sizes, and even shapes distributed on the surface of the entire piece of tree jade.
Seen from a distance, these white jade-colored insects seem to be squirming, making the originally dead jade tree full of movement and vitality. Of course, it is also more eye-catching. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for more novels.
